Illness and gaming
I have been sick for most of the week. Finally, Wednesday, I came home from work after I decided I couldn’t take it anymore. I was out all day yesterday. I subsisted on a steady diet of MS Saga and the newly released Fallout 3 expansion, The Pitt.
My wife commented, as she always does, that I should be in bed. Frankly, if I’m not well enough to go into the office then I feel I should at least enjoy my time knowing that work is stacking up in my absence. A few checks of my work e-mail today confirmed just that.
The other nice thing about playing videogames all day while I’m sick is that it is an affirmation that my hobby has limits. I definitely do not see myself being able to do this all the time every day. As much as I love my games, doing nothing but gets old after awhile.

Doing nothing but gets old? You were ill when posting this I bet
Hope you do get better though! I have now a very bad cold and cough - luckily only on the last day of GDC, but now intruding onto the last few days of my holiday, which is why I am on the internet in bed right now not getting out and about.

At least it was the last day of GDC!
I was feeling better when I posted this! Part of my apathy is that there isn’t much on the market I’m interested in. This might have been a different story if I had a new game to occupy my time. Then again, The Pitt was released while I was sick, but you’re still talking more Fallout 3 which I easily have invested over a 100 hours in already.
